RE: The Treasured Traditional Medicine of Fireweed (Chamerion angustifolium / Onagraceae)
I have never done it but I am hoping to squeeze in some time to give it a try. Here's a post that talks about it more: https://permies.com/t/48812/kitchen/Fireweed-Leaf-Tea
That was interesting. I would give it a try if I had some available. We might be able to cultivate it here in Virginia, but it isn't found in the wild.
Now look what you made me do!
ooh, that's a lot of seeds - how wonderful! I always do the same thing - seed catalogues are dangerous places. :)
I hope it grows well for you. It is such a resilient plant. Here's a photo of our cultivated patch of fireweed in the very wild/messy garden. It's not quite in full bloom.
